A nucleus whose mass is 3.732752 × 10?25 kg undergoes spontaneous "alpha" decay. The original nucleus disappears and there appear two new particles: a He-4 nucleus of mass 6.640678×10?27 kg (an "alpha particle" consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and a new nucleus of mass 3.666199 × 10?25 kg (note that the new nucleus has less mass than the original nucleus, and it has two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons).
In these calculations, it is very important to keep at least 7 figures in your intermediate calculations.
(a) When the alpha particle has moved far away from the new nucleus (so the electric interactions are negligible), what is the combined kinetic energy of the alpha particle and new nucleus?
Kalpha + Knucleus = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. J
(b) How many electron volts is this?
Kalpha + Knucleus = eV

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

With the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 1.90
